(La Porte County, IN) - County Councilman Adam Koronka has announced that he’s running to retain his at-large seat. He was appointed last January to fill a council opening.

In a statement, Koronka, a Republican, said he intends to focus on fiscal responsibility in county government, getting away from deficit spending. “The residents and county employees deserve representation dedicated to running local government as a stable business should be,” he said. “The county cannot continue to operate by deficit spending or continue to gain negative attention due to dysfunctional public meetings and infighting. It starts with having leaders who will focus on each problem and find a sustainable solution while keeping things non-personal and business-like.”

Koronka has a goal to create a plan for the county to sustain a minimum of 15% year-end balance in the General Fund every year.  “With  this  strategy,” he says, “the  county  can  then  create  and  execute  long  range  capital investment plans for supporting and improving county infrastructure and property.”

Koronka has 23 years of experience in engineering and management in heavy manufacturing. He has lived in La Porte County since 2006. Prior to serving on the council, Koronka was a member of both the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Plan Commission for La Porte County.
